If Min had to imagine Xuan in a maid outfit one more time he would go insane.

Somehow the circumstances had caused him to be haunted by the visual of that exact thing. Min actually knew exactly why, but he refused to think about it. He didn’t want to think about the weird shapeshifter flirting with him, or the whole incident with Red and the maid dress. And least of all did he want to think about the two things combined. It was unfair, because without the shapeshifter he never would have thought about Xuan that way. His need to get laid was too non-existent for that, Red being a rare exception because the other had offered. It was only the fact the image existed in his brain now that made it impossible to escape the idea.

Sadly he couldn’t stay away from the estate forever. At some point he had to go back home again and that point was now. Once he had finished laundry and had pointedly not thought about a certain item of clothing he had texted Xuan that he was ready to be picked up. With Zhuan sick there was nothing left for him to do here either way and he didn’t want to sleep in the shed again. Even if he doubted that Zhuan’s sappy ass would even allow him to stay in the shed anymore. Crow sure still looked like he found it a reasonable option and Min wasn’t going to stick around to find out.

The only bright note amidst it all was that he had finally found out how the overly complicated coffee machine worked so he had been able to make himself tea while he waited. With the confirmation that Xuan was almost there he pushed himself off the couch, leaving the empty cup behind on the coffee table and snatching a cookie of a plate. Before he hesitated for a second. "Ugh," he told the silence. With a huff he picked up a second cookie. He really was being too nice and considerate these days as he put on a warm coat and slipped both cookies into his pocket before going outside to wait for Xuan in the snow.

White knuckles from hanging on too tight.

Clenching jaw, I've got another headache tonight.

It was a nice feeling of freedom to finally step out of the estate again. The walls had been getting closer and closer, with the alcohol as his only way of escaping. The little hedgehog that he had named Apple -which he thought was a cute name whether Min liked it or not- was able to provide some distraction as well, but it still wasn’t enough to suppress the depressing realization that he and Rhodes were never going to be together. He had always thought that he could somehow try to be with Rhodes and that their feelings had been mutual, but now Xuan knew the truth. It hurt and it stung. It made it difficult to accept this new reality, but he had to push forward. He had already begun his search for a candidate in marriage and he was sure he could find happiness in that. It shouldn’t be that difficult.

For now, he could find his distraction in picking up Min. Speaking of Min, he was acting a bit odd. Maybe it was the internal struggling of trying to be friendly but also returning to his old self. In any case, Min seemed particular ruder today than any other day. Xuan had thought that the two had grew a bit closer as they were working together a lot, but maybe Xuan was just holding on to too much hope. If anything, he’d keep an eye on Min and see if there might be anything wrong.

He pulled up on the driveway of Crow’s house, wondering if he should come inside or if he and Min were going to leave immediately. Right at that moment Min walked outside in his coat. Well, that answered his question. Xuan stepped out, immediately regretting the fact that he hadn’t pulled on a coat and was no shivering in the snow. He opened the door of the car and gestured Min to step in, before retaking his seat in the driver’s seat. ”So what have you been doing here?” he asked with a slight frown.
